Now we have a couple of questions about health care plans.

First, is your health care now covered by health insurance provided either by an employer or by an individual plan that pays part or all of a hospital or doctor's bill?

(PROBE IF NECESSARY:) Examples of health and hospitalization insurance plans include Blue Cross, Blue Shield, HMO.

(THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE PUBLIC ASSISTANCE HEALTH CARE PROGRAMS.)

(HAND CARD MM) What is the source of your health plan? Is it your own policy bought directly from a medical insurance company, your parent's policy, an employer policy, or something else?

There is a national program called Medicaid (or Medi-Cal/Medical Assistance/ Welfare/Medical Servies) that pays for health care for persons in need. Is your health care now covered by Medicaid or one of these public assistance health care programs?
